Hanging A Shelf...boom!

[Bosco2153]

I've been managing my symptoms well for a couple of months now...no major episodes. Today my husband decided to hang a shelf I've been wanting hung. We don't do well with this sort of thing. Needless to say, his displays of frustration were at their max (he's not a yeller....he's silent and animated). Next thing I knew I had tossed my quesadilla in the air, punched myself in the head a few times, frightened the dogs out of the room....and found myself crumpled up on the floor twisting my hair and crying 'Mama'. Still shaken, holding a blanket to my face for safety...thank you for listening. Exhausted.

Hey there. I hope you are ok. This is the kind of scenario that for me would likely have ended the same way. I too punch myself in the head when overwhelmed, and often find myself crying on the floor. It's no fun at all. Do whatever it takes to ground you and make you feel safe.
